The "（ ；へ：）" emote, also known as the "Discontent Man" emote, typically conveys a sense of disappointment, frustration, or resignation. It features a small, round face with downturned eyebrows and a frown, often accompanied by sweat drops or tears to emphasize the negative emotion. The emote originated in Japanese manga and anime culture but has since become popular in online messaging and social media platforms.
